Every 12 minutes, someone dies in a motor vehicle crash; every 10 seconds, an injury occurs; and every five seconds, a crash occurs. With more than 7.9 million large trucks and 220 million noncommercial trucks, SUVs and cars on the road today, there are an estimated 2.3 million traffic accidents occur each year. Coupled with the growing dilemma of driver distraction and fatigue, this number is sure to increase. Each year, the toll of traffic crashes costs our nation in excess of $230.6 billion according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
